I tried out Galliano shortly after they opened and was underwhelmed. I had avoided going back until our friends insisted on going. Let's just say first impressions can sometimes be deceiving. We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was outstanding from traditional Italian dishes like lasagna and baked ziti to the seafood cioppino. A solid selection of appetizers and a desserts. Our wait staff was engaging and helpful. It was lively with a trio playing the night we were there. We will definitely be back.

Been here 5 or 6 times, but this was the best visit.outstanding service, delicious meals, nice sized portions, pleasant atmosphere. And we do like to dine on a tablecloth ( it's a rarity these days ).

First time at Galliano at the Fulton location and I think I would prefer the Waugh Chapel location over this one. The ambiance of the space is pretty small the bar area is very chic and friendly but when you approach the extra dining tables it's more family oriented. Service at first was a bit weird as our waiter seemed. Bit overwhelmed with our large party of 13 but once he got accustomed, he ended up doing a pretty good job and he was very friendly as well. My food was pretty good, I ordered the Mediterraneo which had fresh seafood of scallops shrimps and clams too. It was truly amazing and the rose sauce was blended very well It was creamy light and delicious.

A friend of mine from New York said he came here and had the best pizza that reminded him of pizza back home. I was told to try the Grandma pizza which consists of mozzarella, provolone, basil, fresh garlic, and their housemade pizza sauce. I added pepperoni because I likes the meats. I went home and enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day this time ordering both their Grandma and their Meat Lover. The meat lover consisted of mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, and their housemade pizza sauce. I preferred the Meat lover but both were definitely delicious. I also got some of their cookies brought in from a bakery in New York along with a Canoli. I must agree with the assessment that the pizza here is delicious.

Introduction to Galiano on the January 2024 visit: I'm starting a photo series each month of 2024. Galliano is representing January 2024. There's a 1-star I've been dreading to write for a while that can represent April. But to get back to the positive topic of Galiano, I first tried this on Sunday, January 21 with a large Meetup group for dinner. After a crappy weekend where my car battery died on that Saturday, the coldest day of the Winter, derailed my Saturday late afternoon/evening and dealt with getting the new battery at place open on Sunday, which was like $400. That Sunday afternoon I somewhat redeemed the weekend with a movie, then dinner still on this bitterly cold night, then leaving dinner a bit early from the Meetup for another movie on my AMC A-List. Food & Experience in January: There are a few parallel parking spots in front, but the parking in the back is still close. The organizer of the Meetup recommended the crab bisque, Italian medley soup, & the eggplant parmesan as did a couple of others from the group, who had been there. The eggplant parmesan is awesome here! The Italian medley soup is solid too, but not quite as high of enthusiasm but very good. It has beef balls and little pasta pieces. The ambiance is nice table cloth with large windows and comfortable cool lighting. The server was cordial, but I remember he got a couple of people's orders mixed like who had what exactly. No major issue though, and it was a large group so could get confusing. Subsequent visits: I loved the eggplant parmesan so much that I wanted to revisit possibly for other items. I visited again in March, May, & June with my girlfriend with the catalyst as the Meetup. In March my girlfriend was relatively new at that point (I was still single on that January 21 visit). I told her about this Meetup & how great the food particularly the eggplant was. Unfortunately, the organizer of the Meetup had Covid, so we got a different organizer. So, she didn't get to meet him in early March but late March elsewhere instead. In March, we both got the crab bisque, I got a wine, she got a beer, and she got the eggplant I highly recommended, and I wanted to try something different...So, I got the chicken marsala. The Crab bisque was excellent too. Honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed by chicken marsala though. We each tried each others' food and both agreed the eggplant was far superior. On the subsequent visits in May & June, we stuck with the eggplant parmesan since we know that's delicious. Other interesting note in June was the two people we were sitting directly across from, two people who hadn't met each other, both got salmon. Neither of them raved about the salmon saying it was ok. But I'm thinking salmon is weird choice for an Italian restaurant. Summary: Eggplant parmesan & crab bisque are the best two things to get. After having the chicken marsala, I'm a bit nervous to NOT get the eggplant parmesan as I feel like I'll be at least a little disappointed. Overall, Galiano has left a positive impression for service, ambiance, & food, but there's a couple areas where it fell a little short too.

I've been back several times now, and they've definitely gotten better. The drinks have been consistent, service is mostly pretty good unless it's extremely busy, and the food is exactly what you'd expect but has been good. They have also been really good about noticing and fixing errors with the orders. Recently, they overcooked our caulflower crust pizza to a burnt crisp, but the server immediately noticed as they were bringing the food to us, and took it back to the kitchen to be remade. Also, the patio is really wonderful when the weather is nice!

I really enjoyed my business dinner at Galliano. Good food, great drinks, and good service. I was here on a weekday evening and I like that they do not rush us to leave, a few of us were hanging out for a long while before finally leaving for the night. My seafood risotto was cooked perfectly, tender pieces of shrimp and al dente rice, exactly what I wanted. I tried one of their cocktails and had shared some wine my colleagues ordered, everything was meeting my expectations. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for sharing, my favorite was the octopus, perfectly tender pieces grilled just right. The brussel sprouts were very good, a little more charred than my preference but I know this is how most people like it (I just happen to different). I think this place could be a cute place for couples going on a date, family gatherings, or business events. I will definitely come back.
